Sregp speed my fleet yeasel the shore is in sight, The breezes are fair we shall anchor to-night; ‘To-morrow at sunrise Once more [ shall stand On the sea-beaten shore of my own native lund. And why does despondency weigh down my heart ? Such thoughts are for friends who reluctantly part, T cume from an exile of twenty lony years, YetI gaze on my country through fast falling teare. And I see the hills purple with bells of the heath, And my own happy valley that nestles beneath, And the fragrant white blossoms spread over the thorn, That grows near the cottage in whieh I was born. Tt cannot be changed ; no, the clematis twines Oler the gay little porch as it didin oldtimes; —* And the seat where my father reclined is still there; But where is my father! Oh, answer ine where? My mother’s own casement, the chamber she loved, Is there overlooking the lawn where I roved. She thoughtfully sat with her hand o'er her brow As she watched her yoang darling, oh where is she now 7? And there is my poor sister's garden, how wild Were the innocent sports of that beautiful child ; Mer voice bud a spell in its musical tone, And her cheeks were like rose-leaves ! Ah, where is she gone 7 No father reclines in the clematis seat ; No nother looks forth from her shaded retreat ; Neither is there stealing slyly away Until half suppressed laughter betrayed where she lay. How oft in my exile when kind friends were near, I’ve slighted their kindness and righed to be here ; How oft lave I said could I once again see That sweet little valley how blest I should be. Tow blest! Oh, it is not a valley like this, That unaided can realize visions of bliss, Wor voices I listen and then I look round, For light steps that used te trip after the sound. And see this green path, I remember it well, ‘Tis the way to the church, hark the toll of the bell. How oft in my boyhood a truant I strayed To yonder dark yew tree and slept ‘neath its shade, But surely the pathway is narrower now, No smooth space is left ‘neath the dark yew tree bough, Over tablets inscribed with sad words I tread, And the home I have souglit is the home of the dead, And was it for this to my casement I crept, To gaze on the deep where they deemed that I slept, Tothink of fond meetings, the weleome, the kiss, The friendly bands pressure! Oh, was it for this? And was it to this T tooked forward so long, And shrank from the sweetness of Ttuly’s song, And turned from the glance of the girl of dark Spain, And wept for my country again and again. When those who go long laye been absent return To the seenes of their childhood it is but to mourn Wonnds open afresh which time ne: had henled, And the ills of a life at one glance are revealed. Speed speed my fleet vessel the tempest may roar, There's a culm for my heart in the dash of the wave, Speed speed my fleet vessel the sails are unfurled, Ol ask me not whither, my home is the world. ~Soloct BHiterature, ~PUE PARTING WORD. In telling a story about a Printer, I am not about detailing the mysteries and dif- ficulties of his occupation, although a feel ing and interesting sketch might be made of the business of his life, with its care and toil for the good of the world. [love the printers from association and long habit; am proud of their companionship; and, when walking armyndsarm with my triend, the President of the Franklin ‘Ty- pographical Society, T fecl as well as il the individual in the hook of my arm were the President of the United States. My intention in this little tale is simply to give the incidents of a printers life, wherein his heart was concerned, and not to med- dle with his profession in any way, save to dignify my hero by the association. The ** Freemian’s Star” was located in Patny, the shire town of Seaburn county, and it exerted a great influence upon the mind and manners of the people. Society took its tone from the printing-oflice, The magnates of the place owned its sway perhaps through fear, and the humblest looked towards if with reverence, for they had heard of its power as the ‘ defender of the people’s rights,” and never dcemed how much of humbug there was in the protession. The editor was looked up to us a great man, and people would touch one another as he passed, and whisper, “That is the editor!” Tle had been fore- man of a daily office in the city, and his importance was unbounded on the as- sumption of his new honors, In a pro- portionate degree all hands in the office were marked men. ‘The single journey men. the grown-up apprentice from the neighboring town, and the demon himsell, were all marked individuals, and people treated them deferentially for their con- nection with the ‘mighty engine”. tliat had such power. Their opinions, ex- pressed at umes about the weather, or the elections, or the crops, were listened to attentively, and everything that appeared in the Freeman’s Star was imputed to one or the other of the ** printers” by the par- ticular friends ot each, Let a piece of village poetry appear, or x good story culled from some city paper, and at once would be seen in it by the different par- ties traces of the minds of each of their fa- vorites. They would have known it to be his if they had seen it in the moon, il they were by accident located in that planet and had met with it there. It was in this office that I made tho ac- quaintanee of the hero of my story—the grown-up apprentice —-who bore the un- euphonius name of Jabez Beso, Ile wasa spirited fellow, very intelligent, and as full of mischief ** as an egg is full of meat,” to use an expressive modernism. Ile was juiced outright when he threw the bully a constant attendant upon the tavern, in all his leisure moments, where, : ttracting a crowd of countrymen around him, he would astonish them by the keenness of his wit and the extent of bis information, and many a marvellous story haye his country friends carried home ‘as latest news,” that had its origin in the teeming brain of Jabez. Steamboats were blown np and railroad uccidents were us Com- mon then, in this way, as now, when the melancholy realities need no draught up- on the fancy, for instances, But he gained a chavacter for wit at the expense of his moral reputation, which is too often the case; and at the age of eighteen, though every body liked him and laughed with him, he was set down as not likely ‘to turn out very well?— a great phrase in Patny. People caution- ed their sons and dau rs about going in his company. and ** Evil communica- tions corrupt good manners” was written as a copy in every girl’s and boy’s writing book in town, But he laughed at them all, and the boys joined him; and the girls, who, somehow or other, always seem to set more by the wild and mis- chievous than by the staid and prudent, loved Jabez very sisterly. Ie was bold and generous—qualities which no true woman can see ina man without admiring them, Far more discerning than older ones in matters of soul, they had discriminated long ago between the mischief and wild- ness of Jabez and his malice and wicked-| ! ness, and a large balance was set down in their hearts in favor of his good qualities. They saw a sympathetic smile or tear where those who decried him saw but levity and heartlessness, ‘They smiled upon him tor striving to save the child's ! lamb from drowning in the well, and re- ! over the fence for maltreating the widow’s son. .

In a grove near, the company held high ear nival to Pan, and the woods were vocal with the noise of mirth. Near by was a charming little lake which wooed many to its brink, to admire its beaaty, to plash in its cool water, or sail upon its bosom in a tiny little boat that was at hand. Jabez and Susan were of the party, and through the atmosphere of her presence he saw a new and mystical beauty of everything; and his heart throbs as he sees her with play ful recklessness step upon the tiny r i tion canuet overcome.” to his heart as he spoke, and placed the DEL Remember ‘ fidelity ’” blossom, and a breath as sweet as its per- mosphere of the {printing-ofice i @ rod ay ray ag “iy . . head aay fume breathed over the pearly purity of] which brings rest to the world, brings no Tam] has Christ Watch, denoting the flight of time.

Rash endeavors to save her only threatened her more sure destruction, when Jahez rushed madly to the scone, and inaminute was by her side. With one arm grasping the boat and the other supporting his fair burden, he held her above the current Lill assistance came, whin, completely exhausted, he fainted as he reached the shore. And thus did the intimacy commence between the printer and Susan Bray, an intimacy that resulted in love as pure and exalted as ever burned in the breasts of noted heroes or heroines of romance. But the Freeman’s Star waned in ifs brilliany ; its four hundred subseribers did not pay; buckets and apple sauce had ceased to be negoiiable articles in the pay- ment for paper and ink; and the Star went down in darkness, leaving poor Bee minus employment. It theretore became necessary for them to part, and Jabez recordingly went to Boston. * Dear Susan,” said he, *‘keep up a good heart, and I shall return to you.don’t fear; and [ will prove myself worthy of you, too, God bless you, and. when we moet again we will love one another all the better. and give me some word that I may re- So wipe your eyes, Susan, nember when danger is nigh, and it will yrove a loye-charm that evil and tempta- Iie pressed her $s upon her brow, mprint of a ki *‘your affections * Jabez,” said she, may be sorely tried in the great city, and emptation will beset your path, bat my prayers will be offered for you, and the word I would have you remember is F1- Let us be taithfal to each other.
